Had to sign in to visibly laugh at this comment. Democracy is dead b/c TikTok is the most childish opinion you could post about this topic.

Edit: as others pointed out TikTok =! Internet.

He didn't say democracy was dead. He said the internet is not the democratising force it was once hoped to be (e.g. during the Arab Spring).
